Beaches
Letojanni is the closest beach to Elysium. This small town has many restaurants and bars, and the pebbly beach has free areas, or lidos where you can rent sunloungers. Taormina’s beach, Isola Bella, is famed for its beauty and so should not be missed. Take the cable car from the town centre and enjoy a day by the sea in unforgettably beautiful surroundings. Giardini Naxos and Santa Teresa di Riva are two small seaside towns that both have lovely beaches too. Don’t forget La Playa in Catania either, it’s a large sandy bay just below the city with a fun atmosphere!
Towns & Sights
Elysium is a perfect base to explore east Sicily. Mount Etna looms large above the area, and you can’t miss visiting the volcano and also its foothill towns like Trecastagni and Nicolosi. Or visit Savoca where parts of The Godfather films were shot. You can see Taormina from the villa, so don’t miss out! This ever-so-chic town is beautiful, with wonderful boutiques, top-class restaurants, and a gorgeous beach. Catania is also not far. Visit the town for its vibrant markets, great shopping, and Baroque architecture. Heading north you can also visit Messina, famous for its clock tower, and also the views over to mainland Italy.
Activities
With its utmost comfort, it would be easy to spend your whole holiday at Elysium. However, there are so many fun adventures to be had away from the villa. Take a Jeep Tour of Mount Etna and reach the volcano’s summit, or book a Quad Tour of the Alcanatara Gorges and surround yourself with natural beauty. Foodies will love a Street Food tour of Catania, or a wine tour at a local winery. Then, of course, you could treat yourself to an in-villa cook service at the villa itself if you want a night off from cooking. Delicious!
